The Rejected Alpha's Vengeance

Chapter 554 Maybe She Wasn't As Bad As They Knew

[HAWI]@@@@

It had been a while since she had been addressed like that and it took a moment for it to sink in. Hawi had been used to everything but the thought of being addressed by her mother, had never been one for the books. She had always never considered it, not once.

"Is that how you greet everyone you force into this shit show?" Hawi asked, her voice cold and devoid of amusement. It is like she had had her fair share of mad women and she refused to be a part of the charade that this one was putting on for her.

It wasn't always that someone had the courage to step up to her, and maybe that's why as she walked towards the woman, Hawi could tell that she wasn't her mother or even an aperitif of her father. This woman was someone else.

She was someone that Hawi had spent her entire life hating on and it was just a matter of time before a fight ensued and Hawi would fight to win. Maybe she is overthinking it all, or maybe she was just losing her mind countless times to even consider the threat.

But even if that was so, was Hawi supposed to make a run for it? And even if she did, where the fuck would she be headed in this vast lonely empty land that she had no idea about? It was a cruel fate but Hawi was done pitying herself.

She could either fight or flight. There was nothing else there.

"I see you know me even if we haven't made a formal acquaintance yet," the woman said and Hawi shared with her that this woman was losing her mind. Maybe being alone in this land was the one thing that she had been hoping to never encounter.

However, what was that supposed to mean for Hawi, the girl who had been away from home for more than three centuries? It wasn't like the universe was suddenly being nice and giddy for her, right?

"I'd say nice to finally meet you, but the urge to strangle the life out of you is just too intense. So, tell me, what is stopping me from murdering you here and now?" Hawi asked sincerely, the thought of her hands on the neck exciting her even more.

She had always been angry and now that she stared at the woman, she knew that this was the right time to let out all the anger she had been feeling for years and years on end. She had never been happy and it was this woman's fault.

She knew it would ruin her if the woman was afraid to do all that like she imagined but at the same time, Hawi refused to be as pitiful as this woman wanted her to be, she wasn't going to let herself take the bait.

Perhaps that was why she was wearing an empty bored face while her insides were charging with disgust and pure hatred for the women right in front of her. Perhaps there would come a time when she would be able to make amends, right?

"You don't do emotions, so let us spare each other the possible emotional shit because you simply didn't give a fuck. You turned your humanity off the moment you went through the portal, which is how you ended up here.

"If you had done that, maybe you would be with Mbali and the queen in club hernia. But you're not going to Hernia to talk to the queen, were you? You wanted her dead so there wouldn't be a reminder of the greatest love that you lost, Hawi.

"Am I right or am I right?" the woman said and Hawi chuckled loudly, making the woman smirk at her. It was like they both knew what this was and frankly, that was easily the worst of things, especially at this moment when they were alone.

"In another world maybe, I would have liked you for being on the same page as me, Islinda," Hawi said and the woman stared at her amusedly. It was almost like she had expected this from the wild girl and it wasn't even surprising anymore.

"Careful, Hawi. No one who knows my name has ever lived to talk about it," Islinda said.

"I bet you would prefer that I call you the almighty moon goddess. Are you right?"

"Nah... everyone calls me that. I haven't heard my real name in eons anyway."

"That's settled then. Talk... Islinda."
